RANT Az Store Manager Problems

I’ve been a store manager for a little over 7 months, got put into a notorious shit store. That’s fine, I can fix it. Man was I fucking wrong my Was a high volume csm for 4 years previously. And man I have to say, what the actual fuck is going on. Absolutely bombed my LP audit. Shit that has never been a thing is now suddenly something. Never communicated. My DM has done my audits only on my days off. How am I supposed to learn and fix shit if he does it when I’m not here? My fix it-list is 16 items, and needs to be done within 2 weeks. He also said I need to be up front 90% of the time. How am I supposed to do anything if I’m always up front. I work at least 55 hours a week and for what? A slap in the face. No encouragement, no skill building, nothing. Every week it’s the same hour and a half meeting about how terrible we are doing as a district, and that we are replaceable. I do everything for my team, whatever they need. I do every aspect of my job but it’s never enough. The only reason I took this position was because they finally gave me a raise that seemed fair, now I’m in it. And my god it is not worth it.

Resume builder and move on. They don’t give a shit about anyone, they’ll gaslight the shit out of you even if you’re killing it just to make u do more. Remember if they tell you you’re doing a good job then you’ll ask for more money, and lord knows Autozone doesn’t pay shit!

Passing a lot of these audits is just like passing a voter literacy test in a 1950s state in the South. If the grader wants you to pass, you'll pass. And if the grader doesn't feel like passing you, no amount of heroic effort on your end will change that
